Priefert Steel, billing itself as “America’s #1 Name in Ranch & Rodeo,” has begun manufacturing Nevados’ solar mounting and tracking equipment at the company’s factory in Mount Pleasant, Texas.

The Nevados system allows solar panels to be placed on hilly terrain, with its trackers automatically tilting the panels to follow the sun throughout the day. Trackers made at the Priefert factory, from American-made steel, are expected to help developers and owner-operators qualify for bonus tax credits for domestic content, says the company.

Draft federal rules released this May call for 100% domestic content for basic iron-and-steel products and at least 40% for manufactured products, escalating to 55% for projects beginning construction after 2026, to claim the bonus tax credits.

“Priefert invented the first front-opening cattle headgate and has been on the forefront of steel fabrication innovation ever since,” says Priefert’s Rocky Christenberry. “We’re proud of our factory with 23 acres under one roof, and our focus on high-precision steel manufacturing. The Nevados focus on design innovation in all-terrain trackers makes us great natural partners.”

In addition to launching this factory, Nevados has continued to expand its client base in the United States. By the close of this year, Nevados will have contracted for enough trackers to supply about 1.5 GW of solar generating capacity in the U.S., with both existing and new strategic client partners such as Ampliform, BlueWave, Cogent Renewables, CS Energy, Cupertino Electric, D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments, Energix Renewables, Nexamp, Primoris Services Corp. and SOLV Energy.

This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.

Bashing Socialism

Margaret Thatcher made this comment in the 1980s, before the Internet made it possible for most people to figure out that:

  • The countries that make universal healthcare and free education available to their citizens are the happiest nations and Earth, and
  • The United States offers its people a great number of free services: roads, bridges, tunnels, firefighting, national defense, embassies, air traffic control, food safety, libraries, public schools, FEMA, criminal justice and corrections, law enforcement, OSHA, auto safety, disease control, the upkeep of our local, state, and national parks and beaches, animal control, space exploration, and dozens of other items.

It Seems Trump Is on His Way Out

Published

I know not everyone agrees with me (e.g., my wife) but I will be surprised if Trump completes his term in office.

Congresspeople want to be re-elected, and for most of them, this is the only thing motivating their actions.  How many of them want to be thought of as someone who supported a criminal president who brought this country to its knees?
